This week we lost one of the brightest lights in the library world. Fobazi Ettarh was an incredibly generous human with the most amazing mind. Her work on Vocational Awe was transformative. We can return her gift by supporting her wife and family: gofund.me/cf5d5f82e.

Dr. Lisa Cook has spent her career breaking barriers and driving equity. She’s facing unprecedented attacks for doing her job with independence and integrity, and we’re not staying silent. #WinWithBlackWomen
A picture of Dr Lisa Cook smiling in a lovely textured blazer. Superimposed text reads: Protect Black Women Leaders. Attacks on Dr. Lisa Cook are bigger than one woman -- they're attacks on representation, progress, and truth. When Black women rise, the backlash always comes. But we refuse to be silent while our leaders are targeted.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Cook because when Black women lead, we all win.

all this so jeff bezos can have a tax cut and buy clothes that show his nipple
A graphic from the American Library Association's campaign, "Show Up for Our Libraries." It reads: 

"President Trump signs executive order gutting Institute of Museum and Library Services. By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's executive order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted American institutions and the staff and services they offer."

We're quite fond of books here at the NHM Library and Archives, and we suspect these owls from John Gould's Birds of Great Britain know just how we feel. #WBD25 #WorldBookDay #NaturalHistoryMuseum #BookSky #BlueSkyBooks #Birds #Owls #Ornithology
An illustration of two young owls in a tree hollow with leaves. An adult owl is perched on the branch outside, staring directly at the viewer, with a small mammal in its claws. Text added to the top reads "Reader: Licks finger to turn page. Librarian: ........".

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.
